It is not very easy to say just when Camp began this
year. The carpenters came out early and stayed late, and before
that Mr. Bar stow made a trip to see that the garden was planted.
Then Andrew arrived to get a start on the nainting.But the
first of the family to -‘arrive were

St ' '
They meant to sp end Sunday in Gardiner , and cone out .
with assorted others on the 22nd., but as there was a good
deal of whooping-cough about, they cane straight through from
Groton by way of many singular cross-cuts, and reached Camp
on Saturday, June 20th. Then the Professor went in to Gardiner
to overset? the Harvard examinations.

almost done, the workshop likewise. And he *e were two of the

train, but never a sign of him did we see till Wednesday.
Work done: unpacking of big boxes and trunks, and setting
out of lettuce by R.R. and J.S.B.
NATURAL HISTORY NOTES
The oewees have m fine family in the nest on the piazza.
The mosquitoes are much less numerous than is usual at this

season. The only tine when they are really crowded is at
4 a.m.
A loon has been heard doing very strange things. He not
only goes urn to a third note, but tries to trill. This is a
fact. . *
TUESDAY
JUNE 23.
Not fery wet; just enough to lay the dust and
make the lettuce sit up.
Painting, carpentering, and cleaning went merrily
on all day, and late in -the afternoon the slip and float
were put into commission.

Alas I The south pontoon had leaked so
badly in the night that there was nothing to
do but take it back round the point and beach it
for repairs. This was done.

We put him right to workThe great job was the bring¬
ing back of the float against a fairly lively wind. Three
stout seamen manned the gallant craft with poles, and
the skipper and Chet went along the shore with a tow-rope.
Finally Chet plunged in, and waded along with the rope over
his shoulder, till he reached the slip.The rest was managed
with boats.*
We think it was this evening that Jack and Chet
went trolling along the shore, and Jack caught the first bass
of the season. He was a beauty, too.
Any confusion of dates must be excused. Thor type¬
writer didn’t come till Friday night, so all the entries for
a busy week had to be made on Saturday.

fine that we are wondering already we have lived so many

Work of all kind3 continued. The two big jobs were the
putting out of the boats, and the rigging of the Ouananiche*s

fact that the level of the pond is not quit the same as it
was in August of last year.

SATURDAY( cont’d. )
Sam Bennett heads the list, as is
fitting, seeing that he was the first boy of all, eight years
ago. And now he is a prefect i
Gregory Wiggins is the other prefect. He hadn't been
here half an hour before he was throwing bathing-suits up in
the miz-tree.
• . ....•***'*•* 4 » * * 9
Several trunks were delayed, but we found bathing-suits
for all and there was mighty splashing. After supper there was
unpacking for all but the luckless fe$ who had no trunks, and
then two rounds of "Going to Jerusalem". After the half-past
*
elghters had gone to bed, Mrs. Richards read us "Cordon", a
very uncanny story.
f
Now you might think that this was the end of the events
of the day, but not a bit of it. About eleven o’clock a launch
was heard heading for the float. She came inj^kh surprisingly
*
little fuss, and landed two more of us. That is, they look like
i
two, but if Joe is either m or 3rd. ,it would appear, according
to arithmetic, as if they must have been four or one and one
third. Here are their names, anyhow; and the tale of their doings
is promised us for an early number.

Chambers, Chisholm, Richmond, Warner, C. Stillman.
To Judge from appearances there will be several more

but he has the remains of a boil on the back of his neck.
We hope that boils will not become fashionable this year.
In the middle of the morning occurred the following
arrival. There are now four red-heads in caran.
After dinner we began "Twelfth Night.”
The picnic list follows on the opposite page. It was not
on a new beach after all, but on the old one by the big
flat rock. we had a good walk to nowhere in particular, and
got more or less lost on the way back; which gave us a good
appetite for supper.Radish and fceltz were on hand for
third jam, There was time for a little singing, and then
we headed for home, with a good little sprint at the last
minute.
We had good hymns, and then "The Finest Story in the

The yach* race, which came first, was a thrilling affair.
The Williwaw covered the course in the amazing time of 1-56-1

have come in second, had it not been for erratic steering.
The steamboat race was a little complicated by the fact
that some of the contestants were hardly long enough to reach

FRIDAY con.
The Doctor, the Professor and Captain John all
took their crews fishing, Can tain John staying out to supper.
The Doctor’s boat got 4 Bass, the Professor 3 Bass and 7 white
Perch, and Can tain John’s 10 Bass and 1 Shiner. John Simons
lost his new rod and could not find it even by diving for it.
Later in the evening 4 more Bass were caught, making a
splendid total forthe day.
Mr. Bar stow went to Oakland in a wagon to buy fire¬
crackers and other necessary things. The doing up of the separate
bundles took so long that this party' did not get home until
after eight o’ clock. They bought so much that the store¬
keeper threw in sodas all round.
The walrus following his aquatic habits took his party
into the wildsof the Bog in pursuit of orchids. The orchids
were mostly not at home, but the Party had a lively tramp.
Chug and his crew walked along the shore from the
lagoon to Gleason' s. Part of the way there wasn’t any shore
so they went in the water .Chuggie went in up to his neck,
so Francis Parkman and Jack Lancaster must9have been entirely
submerged. They came home by way of stony Point.
Sam and Greg took their crews to the Mills in a Range-
ley and the Ebenezer Sara came directly back after an interval
of ice-cres3n,but the Eben feeling livelywent abound the north
end of Hoyt’s Island .When they gottr, the head of the
FRIDAY eon# island they suddenly decided to climb the hill.
They made record time and had a lively paddle home.
After supjer there were boats followed ty “Quiet
Games". The half-past-niners played"Mythology" for the first
* • •
time this year; the Doctorhad never played before, but he
learned how so thoroughly that he beat everyone else.

SATURDAY con. The five-inning game between the Red Sox and the
Doves was also a fine one. The former excelled in hitting,
but as their fielding was somewhat erratic, the Doves one out
in the fourth. Features of the game were two-baggers by KhdiBh
and Dr. Morse, a three-bagger by Chase, and Chug's one-hand
catch in the second inning.
In the evening the fireworks were set off and great *
v-.f
was the glory o» them. On the spectator^# right were the rocketa,
on the left the Roman candles and in the centre pin-wheels
%
and the set pieces. The bonfire, however, was postponed as
the wind was blowing fiercely in. the direction of the
'&-1
woods and therefore it was thought mbye p*udentx not to
set it off.
After we came down from the field, the half-past-eighters
went to bed and the others listened to two stories, MThe sons
of R. Rand”, and" A Hard Road to Andy coggin’s”.
A Departure.
A day or two ago the "sly Fox "left us. We don't really
need her now, and she has gone to Mr. cross *s camp. She has been
called some hard names $n her time, but she has been a good
old boat, and we have had good times in her that we shall
never forget. Good luck go with heri

Nothing of moment happened in the morning, except that
^ c_ *t
Fearing and Hinds swam in from rhe float for the. first .There
will have to be a trip to the point Tor them and T. Cabot pretty-
soon.
The picnic list, as given above, called out the usual
question, "Who is grub, anyhow? "Hi story repeats itself.
SUNDAY (cont*d. ) We landed at a new boat-house that has
been built behind Shute lsland.lt is better than landing on
the poj£rt,as there are few rocks and it is a sheltered place.
As it was rather hot for a walk, we played MISpyM in the
field till supper time. f
The jam squad was rather a small one this time, owing to
<
Peltz^ being under the weather, and to the presence of a
couple of Washington pies.
The Walrus, after his manner, climbed the highest tree
in sight, sat on the actual top of it, and proceeded to tie
his shoes, quite as if that was what he had gone up there for.

A big thunder- shower came pretty near us, but not near

enough to do more than mix up the wind. Consequently we had

a very mixed and sloppy sea on our way home, and some crews
got decidedly damp.
The mosquitoes were oretty fierce all the time we were
singing, so as soon as the juniors had gone to bed we took
to the float for songs and stories.
Sometime in the watches of the night Cap t. John and Greg,
having dug worms by lan trcn-light, took the "Hecuba" and went
up to the north end of Hoyt Island to fish for trout. The worm
were feeling shy, so it was twelve o* clock before the fishers
got off.( There is a picture of them further on. One of them
did it himself. so we know it is a good likeness. )

All this year the flo#t has been leaking badly.
This afternoon the Skipper, thewal r us, Ch ug and Captain John
took. the middle pontoon out and beached it by the Ouananiche
slip for repairs. They worked all the afternoon and a good
part of the evening, in much heat and wetness. The float was
ready for use again by half-past- eight, but we hear that there
is more to be done tomorrow.
The evening was really too hot. The Digestion Club met,
and then we apprenticed our sons on the oiazza in the dark.
When half-past-dight came the mosquitoes were so abominable
that piazza and float were both out of the question, so we XKt
retired to the ball field wherewe tried to pretend it was
cool. ,

FAIR hot weather we are having is by referring to the old

CALM proverb, "Every dog has his day." Several dogs in the
neighborhood must have decided to have theirs in
a lump. We wish they wouldn't#
The pontoon squad continued its labors all day,
in spite of the heat, and finished the job late in the afternoon.
In the morning the editors and the Doctor swam
out to Pickerel Rock; there is about eight inches of water
over the ooint of the rock.
In the afternoon it was realLy too hot to do very
much; we had reading on the point till nearly three o'clock,
and then sang songs and played'? Consequences". Later, when the
breeze came up we played"I Spy" up on the hill, and ended the
afterfaoon with a good swim.
In theevening the whole crowd went out in boats
A list was put up on the door to assign, everyone to a
place, just as if it were a regular expedition. X
After half-past- eight we found the float about
the most comfortable place.
A new organization has sprung up among us. The whips
have passed in the night and in their place we have"Captain

this distinction.

FIRST SCOUTING AFTERNOON.
It was a wonderful day for scouting; the X&K wind was
blowing strongly from the north-west aand it was considerably
less hot. The game has lost none of its attractiveness anAhe
©ne
afternoon was a snlendid.The score follows* on a later nage.

The first game was won by the Jlgon quins by a run made
by Greg on the shore; the sides were about equal in numbers
slain.
In the next game the Iroquois won by a run made by
Baldwin; there was some question as to the validity of the
run at first , but it was later explained to the satisfaction K
of all.^An amusing incident of the game was Chet's mistaking
the cry of'Baldwin” for "All in”.
WEDNESDAY con.
the
As each side had one game the last one was^
most exciting and also the most aggressive. As in the other gXftXXXXXX
games the score was decide^ by runs, this time by a number XX

the woods, while the Iroqois got through on the too dr the

In afternoon reading we finished wThe story of Francis

After reading four boats went fishing and the±B was a
trip to the Mills to get ChesterX’s hair cut. One of the
barbers at the Mills was away as usual; he is farming it this
summer and only comes in town twice a week, probably Wednesdays
and Saturdays. The hotel barber was so exhausted after cutting

Chet’s hair that he couldn’t do anybody else.

In the afternoon there was an expedition to Hoyt's
Island and fishing again; the fishing has been so good this
summer and there is such interest in it^at camp that it was
Whursday.The result fully justified the action as a total of
45 Bass was brought in; this has indeed been a splendid
seaon for getting fish.
The Ouananiche wvent to Hoyt's Island where they got
raspberries and alsp^cut ’some flag root; they would have gotten
\ ^ ’ *■
more of the berries* a little later as there were a good
many not yet ripe. They had a stiff paddle home against a

A little while before supper the first cdlnping trip
returned. They call their camp camp Lucky Strike. They spent
the night at the foot of Rocky Mountain and while they were
away went up both Rocky Mountain and Hampshire Hill* not com¬
bining the two but going on separate trips. We shall hope
to hear more of their adventures.

Tw,rns vs. Had sox.
The afternoon' 8 score was too
uneven for a very exciting game,
though the Do^*®' rally in ^he last
%
two innings improved matters. The
> T M
3#rge score made by the Red Sox was dinjr partly to good hitting
(Mr. Simons knocked a two-bagger and Mr. Dick a clean three-
bagger )and partly to the erratic fielding of their opp6nents.

Both sides made various changes in their lirua-up.
In the pudding ball game which took place at the same
time the score was also uneven 2p ** 9. At first the sides were
£
fairly even, but after a few innings it was clear which side
would be the winners.

•Saturday con. After stupor Digestion Club met for half an
hour and then we had our first evening of
CHARADES.
MORBID For the first syllable two guests at a hotel displayed
an alarming aooetite.The second was a splendid auction scene
in which Can tain John as auctioneer sold the art treasures of
the late Mr. Ezra Thomo son. Louis XIV' s pineapple dish and K
Cleopatra’s valise brought particularly high prices. For the
whole word Or eg as a Doctor prescribed for a choiee collection*
of hyponhondriacs.
PILGRIMAGE . The first scene was the dosing of J.Fish with a
large pill(a baseball ), the secondJef fries as a naughty sbhool
boyled by his mother( A, M.R. )before the stern school board,
and the third & teacher having trials in attempting to findout
the ages of her purils. The whole word was the Pilgrimages
« •*
of the Buddhists which we have learned of in morning, ireading.
IDOL The first scene was the republican caucas,Chug as chairman,
voting on the names of Hughes and Taft^it was rather difficult
to tell which one was nominated, but then they all said "Aye"
which was the most important thing. The second syllable showed
Chug and Mr. Simons Playing with their dfclls.The whole word
probably the most elaborate scene of the evening; several
eastern people were seeh prostrating themselves before an
idol( J.Storrow)^ who kept most remarkably still and looked his
part finely; the effect was enhanced by the Playing of the tom-tom.

After these splendid charades the half-rast-niner went on

SATURDAY (cont*d. ) After changes the half-past niners
went on with the "Inn of the silver Moon1', until the heat
and the mosquitoes drove them to the float for a bri^f space, >
to cool off. . •

SUNDAY One doesn't expect it to be hot on a north-
JULY 12,
W4rm, west wind, but that is what it managed to be.
N.W.
By swimming time the north pontoon had been driven out
of place, and it was fine canoe test weather. Mr. Simons, Mbk
Nevill Bennett, R. Abbot, and Chase, all passed. That makes
« *
seven in three days; a record of which we are proud.
r* f» <* e
Heat and the size of the hospital squad combined
made the pine grove seem the best place for the picnic.
^ •• ' •
The able-bodied took a walk up to stony Point and home
by Alexander's pasture. The Knights of the Hospital met
them in the grove, with the grub on board the wheelbarrow,
under command of Captain Chug. We had food, and then two
«*■ • •
chapters of "The Phoenix and the carpet."
Mr. Dick and Mr. Wiggins left at quarter of eight to ta#e
the night train fr*om Waterville.we hope to see them again
before the end of the summer.
After hymns we had half-past nine boats for the
first time this year.

MONDAY SUNDRY STUNTS.
JULY 13
FAIR It was pretty hot, but a good list of crews went
HOT
CALM out, as will be seen by the next page. The Ouananiehe
made her first trip uo Meadow Brofck,and behaved beautifully.
Some of the turns were a little difficult, but she reached the
first bridge, and was able to turn round, with about a foot to
snare. Not bad for thirty-eight feet.
J.w.s. and assorted Bennetts went together in canoes.
They went to the shore behind Oak Island, where they landed
and explored.
The Doctor took his canoe to the bog at the end of the
southwest bay, and his crew did some exploring, with the aid
of a hatchet to clear the way.
Greg took his crew to Oak Island in one of the big
canoes; they did some exploringon the island, among other
things building a little shack
The Professor went up the south-west bay to Austen’s
Bog, went up the brook there and returning to the nond carried
theicanoe:acroBBsPinkham-’s Point; this brought them into
the south-east bay, from whfech they paddled back to camnX.
Mr.Barstow went fishing and returned after supper with
12 Bass; the good fishing still continues.
Cantain John’s crew went a-paddling in the south-east
and Gleason’s bays, in one of which they. had a fine swim on
a wonderful sand bar; they then went for the mail and on the
way stopped at the store. Enough said!
i

on. In the evening there were games on the hill* in snite
and mosquitoes. ATterwards we olayed the"Voice Game” and
ir, and Water". Then the calm evening suggested half-nast
ts, and we gathered around Pickerel Rock Tor singing
th-west wind came xm and very nearly blew us all away.

Q&JAy&r'
FAIR got off right after reading,
WARM
WESTERLY W heading for Meadow Brook
and beyond. Francis Parkman was to have
gone, but as his cold is still pretty
lively, chickweed was put in his place.
SOU AD NOTES.
Jeffries has built a fine new
L •
ladder which has been put up in the Work Shop in order to
be able to get up br to the boards more easily.
The Doctor, with an efficient squ ad, is repairing
the hog frames of the tents, putting in new posts in place
of those which have rotted out.
Mlarge and active salt-spoon squad is at work now
in reading ’.several good salt-sooons and cuts have already
resulted therefrom.
FISHING AND SHOPPING
While six crews went out fishing, the Doctor took
the Ouananiehe to the Mills for sundry purchases. We have
now the very latest things in hats, socks, moccasins,
spinners, and fishing-rods. We might have got more things,
but some of the party were afraid that they wouldn't
have any money left to get home with at the end of the
summer.
Total number of fish caught, 45 bass. Hooray!

Kids vs. Goats.
For three innings the Kids had it all their way* the score
standing 12-2 in their favor at the end of the third. innthec
fourth, however the Goats shut their opponents out in one- two-
three order and scored five runs largely on errors. After that
both sides scored freely. The game was called at the end of the
seventh, with the score 22-18 in favor of the Kids. The victors
made eight hits to their opponents four.
Lemons vs .Lobsters,
These teams with only six players on a side fought. a
desnarate battle. There were three innings in which neither s
side scored. There were a good many two-base hits and several
and several long fouls which had to be pursued through the
fence and down the bank.
ca™n Mole -"©turned just in time for stmer after lively
times. They reported a fire on Meadow Brook ^and on North Pond
the sea was running so high that the oooulation of Smithfield
<r' »
9
turned out to see them capsize.
CAMP MOLE,
Six of us started out iron the float with a slight head
wind, in two of the big canoes# The party consisted of chase
and J.W.S.in the sterns, Richmond and Chiekweed in the middle,
and J. Cabot and Storrow for bow paddlers.We made the trip up
Meadow Brook in short order, without any incidents of
interest save a short stop to watch the progress of a small
forest fire which was burning along one bank of the brook.
When we reached the head of the brook we lay t<$i for lunch
in the little sandji cove on the south end of North Pond.
After a light but very acceptable lunch we continued
our trip into Little Pond where we had decided to camp. The
tent went up as fast as a wooden tenement building, for the
swimming rock at the north end of Little Pond looked very
• *
inviting. After a wonderful swim we put back to camp, cooked
suoper,and shortly afterward turned in, for a thunder shower
which had been threatening all day now burst upon us. At about
quarter after five in the morning Richy and Chick started us
going again with a bright crackling fire. Breakfast followed
and while in the midst of our Picking up after it Richy
stumbled on a mole which had crawled up near our fire; hence
the name of our camp.
At 8-30 we were headed Tor Snithfield with all our lugg¬
age. We made the carry in short order stooping only to get
a bottle of Sarsaoarilla apiece and a can of baked beans.
At about 11 a.n.ife were well on our way toward East Pond
where we camped for lunch. I/p to this point our trip had been
a rather easy one, but from now on we had to work hard enough
for a hundred loafs. The wind had freshened into a gale before
we started for home at 1-00 o* clock and our arms and backs
ached before we reached the carry at Smithfi eld. Here we were
warned not to attempt North Pond in such a wind, but being
• bold and adventurous by nature we did not heed them, and
reached Meadow Brook again in safety. North Pond certainly
was boiling, and the wind had kicked up a sea which is rarely
equalled on Great Pond. We were a little late in getting back,
and my 1 what a hungry bunch.

his Piety and finally his ability as a swimmer, Captain Hill
as Lars Porsena with his calm dignity prominent and the city

SQUAD NOTES.
A gang has been at work in the lagoon lately, dredging
the channel through the sand bar. The Rangel eys will be
very grateful for this, as they sometimes have stuck there.
A squad of masons is at work rebuilding the stone wall
behind the kitchen.
The fly of the big tent has been taken down, repaired and
put back again.
The pontoon squad had to go to work again this morning,
thanks to heavy north-west winds.
The tutoring squad has grown since the beginning of the
summer; it aonsists of Lawrence, Fearing, H. white and J. Cabot.

and came in. They had their suoner in picnic style at the
Tincubator.The luck was very uneven, as will be seen by the
figures on the list. The Doctor’s boat made the best catch
of the year, up to date. After supper Dutchy went fishing for
chub on the float, and caught four. The fishing on the float,
as well as elsewhere, has been unusually good this year,
The boat-building was small but enthusiastic. Several
designers are following the model of thoHHiterun sky, narrow
t ~
hulls with fins are also on the stocks, and two energetic
people have gone in for large hulls out of two inch nlank.
After sunper we began games on the hill, but were driven
in by a most welcome rain. The Ships vs. Beans finished their
first game, theBe#is winning 102-78. The rest of us had

FIFTH BASEBALL AFTERNOON.
& *'Xr "& "& ”& '•& **&
_ Lucky Strikes vs. Bull Durhams. _ *
This was much the. best game of the season# For two
innings neither side scored, and there were fewer errors.
The score was very even until the seventh inning when the
Durhams brought in four runs, There were only five bases on
balls given in the entire game and fourteen men were stru&:
%
out.
The Durhams shifted their oiteher and catcher at intervals
through the game and after the fourth inning Neville Bennett
ran for Air .'Bar stow, who is having trouble with a strained
tendon.
Candte sticks vs . snuffers
This game was also better nlayed than the Previous ones,
although the score was very uneven, 2ft-9#Fair the first few
innings the Snuffers did not score, while the Candlesticks
were rolling un runs, Unit in the later innings the losers
pulled themselves together and it was more interesting.

CHARADES.
PALMIST TOie first scene was the arrival of a caravan at. an
oasis in the desert , where George FeaVing climbed a lofty
Palm tree( J.Fi3h)and gathered dates from its clustering leaves,
(they were really prunes )?Missed" was done by having a train,
which was missed by one passenger. The whole word was a
for tune- tel ling scene.
ARSENIC A most tragic charade .For the first two syllables^
(arson)$ome vindictive gypsies set fire to chug's house and
burned him up, and the whole word was the Borgia family at
breakfast. some of us have seen this before, but it is always
good.
ELIXIR The eel inthe first scene was oretty lively, but we think
the crew a little timid to jump overboard so soon. "Licks "was a
vivid representation of how badly a dormitory can behave
and what it gets, The whole word was a superb scene from
"A Modern Aladdin"; the making ofthe elixir of life and the
murder of the discoverer by his ungrateful pupil.
After charades we continued our story
though July is not o ver there have already been taught
254 fish; this is a much larger number than the total catch
of any other summer.
SUNDAY As the weather was threatening all the
JULY 19
COOL morning we decided to have a house picnic. The
RAINY in P.M.
N.K.W. Ouananiche went out with a crew ,but came back
early on account or the rain.
The rest or the crowd* or most of it* walked to Belgrade
Hill. We got to the ton in soite o fraud andrain and came home
in good time ror suoner.We nicked uo Francis Chambers on the
way and brought him home with us as h&3 raraily had just left.
We lined up ror singing at the farm-house and marched into
»
camo to the tune of’One wide River to cross.1*
After supner we had ghost and burglar stories round the
fire till time for hymns. After half-past eight we continued
-Aladdin. -
The notiee below speaks for itself. The Iroquois also
are on the war-path.

ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES

Mrs. Peabody left* us in the afternoon; we hope her next
visit will be a longer one
EXPEDITIONS
The Ouananiche set out shortly after the canoes and
paddled down to the base of Hippo Hill. We disembarked and
and climbed the hill, getting the usual pretty viewoOT
Great and Long Ponds. We returned and raddled over to the bottom
of Philip where, after getting things ready for supper,we
met the others.
The Philip Mountain party, in four canoes and a Rangely,
landed at the usual place, and went up the regular way py the *
MONDAY (cont'd. ) path. We round raspberries on top in
great quantities, and some or the boys spent all their time
in the berry patch till the ‘'All down" was sounded. The rest
JS i
of us sat on the ledge and sang, and wondered what would be
the result of jumping off the steen corner. We went down the
steep way, which was worse than usual, being slippery with the
rain of last night. At the worst nlace we had to let go and
slide! Acommit tee of the faculty stood below, and saved us from
destruction.
We had supper under a big tree in a field, and after sup¬
per there was much tumbling round, and lively doings with a
baseball.

Miscellaneous Notes.
we hare now an outfit of six fire-extinguishers; let
us hope that we will not need them.
The duties of the lamp squad are much less severe than
A
they used to be* Mike does the big lamps now and also the lamp
in the Infirmary.
The other day the Doctor brought in a little redstart,
which he had found so tangled up in sPider-webs that it
could not move. It flew up to one of the beams overhead and
stayed there almost through dinner.
The Philip Mountain party found the explanation of
the great brown- matches which are showing in the woods across
the nond. There is a perfect Plague of smooth green caterpillars*
an inch to an inch and a ftalf long. They are slightly marked with
yellow, and taper slightly at both ends; they eat beech, oak and
maple leaves, stripping whole trees. The woods on the south
side of Philip are fairly carpeted with gnawed bits of leaves,
and the air is full of caterpillars spinning down from the
branches.

WEDNESDAY There was so much to say yesterday that we
JULY 22,
Calm, forgot to note the return of camp Plying Pond or
Rainy.
Bust. They came back in good condition, and we know
that they got to Plying Pond, because they certainly diinot
bust.
It looked at one time as if we were in for an all day
rain, but by dinner-time the clouds began to roll up, and
before long the sun came out. That meant baseball.
SIXTH BASEBALL AFTERNOON.
(/)(/)(/)(/)(/>(/>(/)(/)(/)
The game did not promise well at the end of the first
inning, for the Ostrogoths had seven runs to their credit,
%
while their opponents had not got a man beyond third.Matters
soon changed, however. The Ostrogoths could not score again,
and the Visigoths scored twice, on errors. Thus it was really a
remarkably close game. There was less hitting than usual;
five hits for the winners and four for the losers.
One of the exciting moments in the game was when G. Abbot
got caught between third and the plate. He made a good try,
but pitcher and catcher together were too many for him.
The rest of the company built boats, under supervision
of J.G.W.We have not had a chance to see the results, but the
shop sounded as if there was good deal going on.
The small table, now under command of the Doctor, has
become the Merry-go-Round.It seems to live up to its name.

8. STUNT. "CAMP MOLE." - J.W.S.& CO.
9. CHORUSES. - — OCTOBER, CAMP SONG.
The first stunt wqs a combination of familiar and
topical songs, sung by a trio in elaborate costumes.lt was
made all the funnier by^ the fact that all three performers
got an attack of the giggles in the last verse, and had great
difficulty in getting through. They said the trouble was that
they happened to look at each other. we give the verses on
another page.
Camp Mole did themselves proud. They sat round their
camp fire, (yes, it was really burning) in the dim light of the
lantern, and sang the wild tale of their doings to one of the
best tunes that has ever come to camp. Then they put out the
lightyand the scene ended with grunts and goodriights.
WEDNESDAY (cont'd. ) After half-past eight we read "The
House and the Brain.1' At least ,we began, it.
As the crowd was coming in from boats, Tom Cabot, standing
peacefully on the float, was pushed right into the pond by
the end of a canoe. That is the difficulty of being, so
large. . . -
The skipper h&s had a good letter from Chet Ladd, written
on birch bark, and telling about fighting the fires in the
woods. We will put it in if we can make it stick. „
The old pampers, who know Mr. Barton, will be interested
to know that has has received the watch we sent him, and
that the skipper had a letter from him early in the summer 8
about it. He means to write to all the brethren, he says;
but we all know that he is very busy. The watch is a olain gold
one, with his initials on the back, and an inscription on
the inside giving the date, and saying who it is from.

The Ouananiche went shopping, as is her custom. She is
a terribly frivolous boat, we fear .The Corkers went to
THURSDAY (cont'd. ) the head of Ellis and McGraw,to look up
- «
desirable camping-places. They made such good time that they
got in a swim in those foreign waters.
And the Skipper and Chug went to work on the pontoon
again, by way of variety. The horrid thing has behaved so all
summer that we do not dare to say that they finished it.

With fishermen and campers out, we were such a small party
at supper that there was room for us all in canoes afterwards.
The two non-swimmers, had to be in a row-boat, however, so
they and the Skipper went out in the Sweet-By. Boating was cut
short by a very slight shower, and there was time for quiet
games .Later the half-past niners played a noble game of
Muggins. We don't dare to play it often, it is such a mental
strain.

There are two or three new patterns in boats this

The Corker started out under command of Captain
Chug. with A. M. R. , Parkman, and Chase. The Plan was to go up
Tiber, and we went up until our mouths were full of alders
and
FRIDAY con. and our hair mil off spiders. So we turned around
and came back again ;but when we got to the mouth of the
\
Tiber we had so much time left that we went round behind

Camp Loon returned about half-past- five in great form.
They hhd canned on Long Pond, swum in Moose Pond, visited the
town of Mt. Vernon and been threatened with shooting, so all
together they have had a lively time. A party of six lined up
r
on the float with bandages and crutches, just to show th&
Doctor what might have happened while he was away.
After supper there were boats and half-past- eight
Boston. The half-past-niners finishedMThe House and the Brain”
and wrottf and adjective letter. While this was going who
should arrive br4.
A broken down launch put in for assistance about
quarter of nine; she wasn’t in condition to Proceed so we

lent the owners a Rangel ey and let them hitch thelhr own
boat to the float.
About half-past-nine Sam Bennett inspired by Francis
Chambers ' example went off the float into the water. So ended
an eventful evening,.

Found in a tent the first day of
inspection. was the following.
DELIGHT IN DISORDER.
A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantoness;
A towel over the blanket thrown
Into a fine distraction;
An erring wash-bag which there and here
Adds interest to confusion dear;
A shelf neglectful, and thereby
Handkerchiefs to flow confusedly;
A winning wave, a loosened gap
£n the tempestuous tent-flap;
A careless pillow, at whose wild disorder
The ladies stand and cry out murder;
-Do more, bewitch me than when art
Is tot precise in every part.
Found in the same tent the second day
of inspection was the following.
Still £o beneat, still to be swent,
As though here I had°not slept;
Still to be washed, my clothes to be brushed.
Ladies it cannot be hushed,
Though art’s hid causes are not found
All is not sweet, all is not sound.

SATUSfiAY By the middle of the morning the rain

WARM which had been threatening began and continued
ELOTJDY
CALM fairly steadily until midnight.
In spite of the rain we had a good swim and Hinds and
T. Cabot swam to the point. There are only two. left now in the
infant class and both of them have swum in from the float.
We give the afternoons Programme as it was posted, on
the next page.
There were three games of Progressive Ping-Pong, of which
Chase won two and the Professor the third. Then we had two
rounds of "Going to Jerusalem "and individual games of ping-
pong until it was time to set the table.
The bean-bag tournaments were held at the two ends of ih
the piazza. The Ships beat the Bean-bag Boys 101-86 and the
All-star Cast the Med-facs 100-76# The two winning teams then
Played each other and the losers did the same with the

started a little late, as the commander
hoped to get in a session with the barber
before he left. Unluckily the barber got
<
off at Belgrade instead of North Belgrade,
being told by the conductor that that was
what he wanted to do, so John W.and Greg had to leave their
hyancin thine locks still unshorn. But great was the shearing
all day, and the infirmary floor was a sight to behold. The
barber, by the way, is Mike's older brother.
There are five Jahns in the camping tripi
The hair-cutting made rather a broken afternoon. Thiose
who were not on the barber squad or were lucky enough to get
through early mostly went fishing getting a total of terf.

DT. Morse has finished a most wonderful buoy for
Pickerel Rock, to take the place of the one that was lost
in the northwest blow. The stick Is striped red and black,
the official colours for a rock, the keg is red and white,
and the flag is white.lt was put out this morning, and stands
perfectly straight. We hope the Doctor enjoyed standing
on the rock for fifteen minutes, while his crew went in
to get something.
We haven't mentioned the snlendid work done by the
tree-planting squad. They have been setting out white pines
along the edge of the hill.

As will Vbe seen by the list the trip
was meant to ( be the converse of the last Philip Mountain
and HIppo Hill trip; it succeeded however in being a good deal
• • •
more than that. The Hippo Hill went up two hills instead of one
and then by some misunderstanding two of the canoes went down
to Jamaica Point for supper. A third canoe had to go down and
bring them back, so that for many of the party the trip was a
much longer one than had been planned.
While the Jamaica Point party was being rescued there was
a lively game of Scrub, played with a tennis-ball to distract1
he minds of the starving company from pains of hunger. All this
i
meant supper at about seven, and as there was a good south wind
blowing xx£ the company got home oretty late*
The stay-at-homes had a visit from Ripley cutler's mother
and sis ter. Too bad Ripley was away, but they ire coming over
again tomorrow morning.
Canto Donner-und-Blitzen came home in good time annPimelpg
that the Rocky Mountain Goats camped in sleepy Hollow. They had
managed to sleep in one tent and had kept pretty dry in Sfitfa off
the showers. V.
We were a small erowd at supper but we had our own lettuce,
which we had Planted ourselves.
There wasn’t very much evening, as the expedition didn't get
back until quarter to nine, but we had time for a little of "The
Prisoner of Zenda" before we went to bed.
INSPECTION VEKSES( cont ' d )
In a dirt}/- old tent lived a dirty old man
Soan, towel 3, or brushes were not in his plan.
For forty long days, as the ladies declared,
His tent never once nad been cleaned or repaired.
Oh, when he has Played out his part in the scene
Wherever he is now, I hope he's more clean.
Then give you a thought free of scoffing and ban
To that dirty old tent and that dirty old man.
A REPLY TO THE INSPECTION VEKSES.
Gather ye clothes uo while ye may,
Inspection's still a-stalking,
And this same tent that's neat today,
Tomorrow nay be shocking*
Then be not slow, but use your time
And while ye may go tidy —
what shocks to find things neat without

THIRD SCOUTING AFTERNOON.
The weather was very threatening after dinner and some
m
of us hardly expected to finish the first game. There was a
big shower hanging to the north of us,sx> near that we could
hear the thunder; but all itddid was hang there and growl, till
it snlit up and melted away.
This was the best Played afternoon we have had this season.

Before this there has been brilliant individual playing, but
<T *' *** 4
there has also been a great deal of slackness and carelessness.

The average of Playing has come up itf a very satisfactory way*
The She Algonquins won the first game on shots, having only
eight killed to the. Iroquois ' ten.
The second game almost exactly reversed the score, there
being t eight dead Iroquois and eleven Algon quins. The score would
have been closer if one of the Algonquins had not killed
two of his own side.
In both these games most x>f the playing was done to the
west of the boneyard.In the third the Iroquois sent a large
party through the sweet fern,fe| every man was killed before
he could reach the swamp. In the mean time Greg, going well into

This won the afternoon forth© Algon quins, but the Iroquois
are still one point ahead in the total score*
This seems an appropriate place to mention the scouting
cun;Mr.and Mrs. Bartlett gave it in memory of Moulton, and it
is to be competed for every season by th<^ two tribes. The tribe
that wins the most games each summer is to have the cup at its
o?/n end of the big room for the next summer. As the Algonquihs
won last year, the cun stands at the Algonquin end, the south end,
on a bracket made of white birch with the bark left on*
The cun is of cooper with buck's horns for handles and a
ring of Indian arrow-heads around the neck. It is a beautiful
thing.

The Playing goes Qn improving, and again we have to
report the most exciting game of the season. The score stood
one to one for four innings* At the end of the fifth it was 2-
2, and after that there was only one run made, winning the
game for the Do bul es 3-2.
There were noticeably few errors, and eight times the
side was retired without a man's reaching first. Chickweed did
some good fielSing,and E. Stillman at left field stooped a lon^

SATURDAY
AUGUST 1
FAIR
This eventful day began with the departure
of Can tain Jack;hs couldn't stay over
VARYING W
Sunday^ as he had to be back at work on
Monday morning.
The arrivals began as follows: Just before dinner
We hone he won't break himself any where this tinw.
EIGHTH BASE-BALL AFTERNOON
FI or odor as vs.Cremos.
Another uneven game, which would have been tiresome
if it had not been for spectacular individual nlays and
casualties. Chug feot a tw -bagger and a three-bagger, J.W.s.
a two-bagger and a home run. Another feature of the game was
the Professor's attemnt to steal home in the fourth inning;
he did some lively dodging with three men after himbut was
finaly put out by the Doctor.
The game was called off at the end of the fifth inning
because. Mr. Bar stow was entirely disabled by a swift ball
iron short to first which took him in the middle of the
back. As this made it impossible to finish the sixth inning
the nart which' had been already played was not counted.
The other casualties were as follows:
Chase get-a-feall in his eye, which instantly
swelled uo and turned a most wonderful puPtnle.
S.C.B. and Cutler both got hot grounders on th

SATURDAY con. The nudding-ballers refuse to be
called the outlandish names that were given theraand so
tr
the teams remain nameless. However it was a very elose game
«
(by far the closesr thus fa*), the final score being 10-9.
The deciding run was not made until the last inning.

The real event of the day was the arrival late in
the afternoon of the August boys; all half-nast-niners and
old boys. It was nretty grand to see them again. With them
came Mr. Hubbard and Harriot Kunhardt for a visit andCaroline
Stevens to be an August girl.
i' *
SATURDAY con. In the evening there were
Parades.
NOVICE* For "no" Captain John proposed to Abe who looked Quite
quite sweet in a muslin gown and wigand was firmly refused.
The gambling scene, "vice", was quite tremendous, especially when
J.w.s.shot his little brother for cheating. The whole word
began in a tragis manner, for Miss Betty didn’t want to take the veil
veil at ellwand was only forced into it by the sternness of
Jimmie Hencoop, who chanted "Anna virumque eano"over her in a
most bloodcurdling manner; she was rescued just in the nick of time b
time by Can tain John.
PEVERIL If we had been told that this was a na me of three
syllables we might possiblyhave guessed it, though it is doubtful.
The first syllable"peave;’ showed the camo in such a state as
we think it has v/the? been seen in. Such sulky people were
enough to make one long for a spank-stick. "err "was ’ the early
crime of George Washington. The cherry tree was a fine one,
with fruit as large as ootatoes on it. And the matronly dignity
of Henry Hun as Mrs. Washington, with a red shawl and Dr. Morse’s
spectacles, was a memorable sight. In the third syllable they
had blueberry pie, bananas, underdone veal, and overdone water¬
melon, even to the third and fourth help, and took the painful
consequences. The Doctor was away on a two-days’ canning- trip,
too, which made it worse. The whole word was Julian Peveril
( S.C.B. ) standing beside a fine large neak.
SATURDAY con.
BUCKETS. For "buck" J.Fish gave anfexhibition or his power
as a quadruped, while Roger vainly tried to ride him. "Kits"
was the discovery of a lovely family of kittens, which were
cruelly dragged off and drowned by Mr.Rawle,the Doctor and
, a
Jellyfish. The whole word was the best scene; an alarm of fire
<
with a snlendid bucket brigqde to nut it out.
As we had more ^tirae than we needee we ran through four
one-act charades^metanhysician,metanhor , ingratiate, and
insinuate.
And then we finished "The Prizoner of Zanda".

SUNDAY, Roger Bennett passed his swimming test this
AUGUST 2 .
Fair, morning .we supposed he had done it before, but he
N.W.
was pretty small in *05, and was kept out of the water
towards the end of the summer by a sore toe.
The boat list was all made out for the picnic, and we
were just getting our paddles out, when up came the wind.
A party of Stony Point people landed, preferring to walk
the rest of the way home, and then we considered. Finally
the Skipper ordered)j"Paddles in", and the majority of the
camp headed for Snake Point by land, the food being conveyed
in the Ouananiche, who doesn't mind weather. Here is her crew.
L.E.R. , J.W.R. It was pretty wet on the
( pass. )
H.V.H. F.R. way over, especially for the
A.M.R. R. Bennett
R. G.H. G.W M.jr. passengers, but by the time we
A. Stevens C. Hubbard
S. C.B.jr. J.W.S. had passed Stdny Point the wind
J.R.
had gone 4own.We found the walking party
there, and all hands went out to the end of the point,
except L.E.R. and A.M.R. , who went up to see if Mrs,
Furbush could help the former to get dCry.She could and did,
so everything was all right. We ate and sang a great deal
at supper,and proceeded home as we had come.
Mr. Wiggins went this evening, just before hymns, but he will
be do?m again before very long.
After hymns Mrs. Richards read’ us "Sohrab and Rustum".

The above list ♦peaks for itself.lt breaks the record
for an aftrenoon’s catch, a single boat’s catch, and probably
a single person’s catch. At least Cap t. John got twelve, which
we think has never been equalled. The old record for one boat,
27, was made in the first year of camp, by the skioper, Cap t. John
and Mr.Simons.lt is curious that two of that crew were in the
boat that made the new record.
Miss Rosalind and the two Doodle-bugs that were an camp
and able-bodied (Warner and E. Stillman) were rowed over to
Oak Island, where they went wading, studied trees, and cooked
#
their supper
MONDAY (cont'd. ) A select company built boats* But Bobby , sxkxxxSi

I* • «
even Chug, took to himswlf a crew, and went off in the H.B.
on what might be called a solitary Stunt. The crew were A.M.R. ,
A. Stevens, and R. Abbot. Just as we were starting we had a
brilliant idea. We would take our supper, and make it
Rocky Mountain or Bust. We did it, and arrived unbusted; though
we did some lively saddling. We were two hours from the
float to the top of Rocky, and one hour and forty- three
minutes from the top to the float. We ate our supper on
« ' Oft*
top, in a comfortable corner just above the slide.
After the fishing boats had come in we played "Going to Jeru¬
salem”. Curiously enough the three piaaiists, A.M. R. , s. C.B. , and
A It A A tt A A ft ft A
A,
Chubbard,were the three winners-
<> r 0
And then we had a wonderful half-past-nine Boston, in which
everybody got mistaken for everybody else.
The latest table' shift has of course changed the name
of the Small tabble.lt is now "Andy Cogginss,the Finest
Tincubator in the world"(with apologies to Fernald and K; -J ig
Kipling). They have challenged the. camp to a base-ball game^
andit seems likely that a game will result.
In the mornings now we are reading Scott ’ s”Talesof a
Grandfather "and this afternoon we finished "Peveril of the Peak”.

We don't give the names of the boat-builders, but they
were many and energetic.
Greg and Sam took their crews on a one-meal camping trip
to Oak Island. (This has been done once before thid year, by Mr
Barstow. )They built a shanty, cooked their supper, and spent
the night.
The Doctor's gang went fishing. They stayed out to
supper, and came home with eleven fish.
J.W.S.and his crew followed the Doctor's example for
A
a while, but came in early. As the fish were late, they did not
get any.
Chug took the Eben on an exploring trip to the brooks
beyond Monkey Point; this makes a good afternoon especially
when you have a strong south-east wind to come home against.
TUESDAY con. Captain John had a wild inspiration, and decided
to take supper and try for North Pond.The ski pper gave them t ill
8: 25, but they got ba ck well within the time. On the way out
they established a new record from camp to the mouth of the
stream; 35 l/s minutes. The old record , which. was made the other
way, had stood since 1902 so far as we know. _
Camp Traaey came home in good time for supper after
• -n
a memorable trip. They got to Lemon Stream and Sandy /River;
' r •
a feat which has never been attempted before.
The evening was a peaceful one, for obvious reasons. Digestion
Club and "Earth, Air, and Water" tobk up the time till half-
past-eight and then we began"Calumet K".

WEDNESDAY, It was not raining when we got up, but it was
AUGUST 5. . : ,
Rainy, distinctly threatening, and there were spatters or

„ • * • * »
rain through the morning. Early in the afternoon it began
in good earnest, and we had the hardest rain we have had this
year. We got very little wind, being in the lee of the point,
r *
but the mail crew, who went over in the Hecuba at about half-
<

past four, found the bay pretty lively. . ,

SftUAD NOTES.
Thio morning the Ouananiche was taken up on the float
P • ft
and washed. She has been brushed out and dusted before, but
* . •
this was her first real bath for the season.
The tree-pruning squad cleared out a good many of the
r • * ** r * rrft-
small branches that have been making the flag-man's life a
burden to him on windy days, and got a big branch off one of
the half-dead trees by the boat-house. This involved so much
sawing and shinning that it had to be done in relays. J.W.S. ,
Radish, Abe, chubbard, and J.W.S. for a second turn, all had a
hand in it, and it was finally pulled down by a rope running
over another branch.
After reading there was no possibility of anything but
indoors. Boat- building kept some busy till suoper- time, but
the excitement of the afternoon was the great beanbag tour¬
nament, of which we give the particulars on the next page.

the two bow-paddlers were exactly abreast of each other,

THURSDAY (cont'd. )
there was an odd number of crews for the mixed fours,
the report looks a little puzzling. Simons ' s crew drew a by,
and the winners of the first two heats matched to see which
should race them. This gave Stevens's crew an extra heat, but
it was the only way out of the difficulty.
* * m * m
The first heat was very close. The H.B. fouled the Eben
e . , ^
on the turn. The second heat was also close. In the third the H

H.B. made a pretty turn, but lost by wild steering afterwards.
In the finals, Chase's crew gaind so much on the turn

went out round Pickerel and back. All the rest ran from the

Delraonico's vs. Andy Coggins’ .
Excitement has run high since the challenge Tor this
match was issued and a large and enthusiastic crowd
assembled on the side-lines. The teams were somewhat uneven,
as will be seen by the score. The defeated team made costly
errors, and were unable to get any hits until the ifixth
inningtloughothey scored three rikns in the fifth mostly on
errors. Them was some heavy hitting, .J.W.s. getting two three-
baggers .
Mr. Dick, who arrived with Dr. Adler in the middle of the
afternoon, was put in at center field, and pitched the l£st
two innings for the Delraonico's.
- We are glad to say that in this game there were no
casualties.
We shall not out in Mr.' Dick's signature, as we have had
it before ;but we will try to get Dr. Adler's and paste it in.

BABEL. The first scene was very Tine. A hunted oi&law(J,w.

desperately, and had already killed two of his enemies when
his sword broke and he was borne down by number s. For ”b el 1M

Rover. The whole word was the building of the tower of Babel,
in which the workmen suddenly broke out into Italian, Greek.
7 t>- y
Latin, Er On ch, and German.
PRISON. The first syllable, ( which was pronounced with a
long ”I”)was the imprisonment of a gallant young knight, and h
his rescue by two fair ladies. The second syllable, "son",
was very exciting. Sam was cantured by brigands, and was on
the point of being hanged, when the robber chieftain discovered
that he was his long-lost son. "Prison” was ohe of the
finest things we have seen in a long time. It was the familiar
nrison scene from”Trovatore",with Cantain John as Manrico
and Sam as Leonora. The pathos was something heart-rending.
NECROMANCY. In the first scene kiss Betty was condemned
to death ‘ for "pettifogging in the first degree”. An attempt tx
behead her, however, failed since her nack miraculously became
so tough th#t the axe h$d no effect unon it. "Roman "was the
assassination of Caesar; a familiar scene but always effective.
"Sea” showed a vessel laboring in the waves; we ought to have
recognized Jonah at once in the person of Jeremiah Hill, but
it was not until the drairing of lots that we saw where we were.
The 8-1 egged singing whale was sunerb.The whole word was the

we started out in perfect weather and reached the Mills
without any adventures; there we were somewhat delayed by the
purchase of potatoes which were needed at home. Potatoes are
evidently scarce at the Mills. we dined at the Monataka
landing, and were lucky enough to find some feood pieces of ice
in the saw-dust around the ice-house. so we had ice-water t&o

After dinner we started for Royal and Muskr at. There were 17

The Muskrats saw a real muskrat on the way up the mountain,
which proves that it was rightly named. By arrangement with the

MONDAY con. before but never actually tried; that is
signalling by mirror to cairn. it worked beautifully ;no elabora¬
te dode had been arranged, but three o'clock had been set as
signal time, and the appointment was punctually kept by both
sides. The mirrors flashed as brightly as any professional
heliograph and with the help of the telescope the home guard
< >.
could distinguish the Muskrat party quite distinctly. The
blackberries were large and fine, with such fierce thorns
that Tim Fearing brought home a man of the whole expedition
on his legs.
The Royalists went up in the usual way, and the old south
field is no easier than it used to be. They also had black¬
berries to cheer them on their way, and blueberries too. When
we reached the northwest fifeid,the great ring of mountains
to the north and west was most wonderful. Half the party went
down to the nearest farmhouse to get water, and nobly brought
up a supply to the rest in Hen-coop's hat.( A felt hat holds
water very well. Khaki leaks. )Then we thought a new stunt
would be fun, so we started down the west end ptf* the mountain.
Before long we struck a road, which we followed around the
end of the mountain until we reached the mafcn road to Mt.
Vernon. We turned to the left on this and in due time reached
/ : '
the landing just ahead of the Muskrats.
Plenty of supper and a lovely Paddle home ended a most
successful trip

got so far that they were taken out for a
to boat-building; a number of boats have
trial.
A four-paddle went for the mail and made what seems
to be record time on the way back; at least we can find
nothing so good in the records. It was 12 minutes and 45
seconds. The crew :H.H.R. ,G.W M. Jr. , A.M.R. , R. Hooker
Carar> Hobovitch came back in good time from North
Pond. Their chief occupation's seem to have been eating and
sleeping.
After Digestion club we nlayed a terrific round of
"My Brother’s come home from China”. A fter this we were too
exhausted for anything more violent than "Teakettle”.
The half-past-niners finished"CalumetMK" and read
"Tobin’s Palm".
Intthe morning the Doodlebugs made a very interesting
investigation of the habits of the common Yellow-Jackets.
They brought back fine specimens of the work of these
interesting insects, Eli’s leg and Miss Rosalind’s eye being
perhaps the best.

WEDNESDAY, When we came in to breakfast this morning
August 12,
Cloudy we found on the board the thrilling news that
to
fair, the Battledore record, which had stood since 1903,
warm,
Southerly, had been broken by Captain John and Chug.
The new figure is 1481.

FIELD AND TRACK MEET.
This event has often been crowded into the last week
of camp, and we are glad to have it successfully over
before the last rush. The weather was pretty hot at first,
but a convenient cloud cooled it off before long. By
cutting out the potato race, and having supper a little
late we were acle to run through the whole schedule in one
afternoon.
Perry, Wolcott, Lane as ter, and J.O.w. did not enter in
any events, and S.C.B.did not enter in the broad Jump nor
the 440.
By the way, the course for the long run has been
4-oo a-r\<i
altered.lt now measures a little ©verv thirty yards. This is
the reason why the time is so much slower than it has
been in former years. ,

The only record broken was in the Junior shot-put.
Hun broke his own new record twice in the course of the
afternoon. The figure is now 54 ft. 8 in. ;a bad one to beat.

at sing-song. It is runny that R. Abbot won the junior cup
last year.
As San Bennett is a prefect, he is not eligible for the
cup, so his points go to the next in order. That is why his
name is put in parenthesis. >

weather, it turned fair and hot, with a wonderful great
shower threatening in the afternoon, which passed us by. We got

This was game worth-, seeing. No score was made till the

errors, and some good clean hitting. The most exciting point
in the game was the double play in the sixth, by which J.S.B.

The first excitement of the morning was the
hatching out of six little turtles. Doctor Morse
dug ur> the egAs a while ago, while he was running the
tree-nl anting squad, and they have been in a box of sand in a
warm Place ever since. The]/- c&ne out gradually, and were quite
soft at first.

Gardiner for two days, by the early train from Oakland, and
that Roger Hooper left in the evening.

This was a new stunt. We have always before taken a day for
each trip before. The scheme was as follows: Crew A was to leave
at 8 o’clock and rea ch North Belgrade for dinner At 12:30.
Crew B was to leave c#hp at 10:15, carrying dinner ifor both
parties, dine at the station at 11.3o, and be ready to start
at 12. 30. The only difficulty was that both crews were rather
weaker than they were meant to be, owing to sick list and

FRIDAY con. the Doctor’s canning trip, so the time was
somewhat slower than the schedule. Both crews had difficulties,
Crew A had a fair wind on the stream which made them so hot
that they almost died. Crew B had a head wind everywher. exceot

on Great Pond; this made it nice and cool, but did not makfc the
Ouananiche any easier to steer or paddle. Then both crews
missed the time out for dinner, which breaks the trip in just
the right place. But in spite of lame shoulders and sunburnt
noses it was a solendid stunt, and we are all glad that we
were on it. We give crew A. *s time in detail, to show what is
done by a pretty light crew with several passengers.

FOURTH' SCOUTING AFTERNOON.
This was on the whole the beat scouting day we have had.
The Play was for the most part well Planded and careful and
the two sides were suprisingly even*
In the first game the Algonquins sent most of their men
through the woods, sending two or three by the sweet fern in
case of an Iroquois in that direction.
The sottond game was Played cautiously on both sides,
and there were few casualties until late. Both sides sent a
good many men through the woods.
Th e thei- 1 asteig ame both sides made one run, but the Iroquois
won on killed. The Iroquois run was made through the sweet
fern, and the Algonquin one over the hill and through the path.
The largest number of shots in the afternoon was made
by Mr,Barstow in the first agme.He killed six.
wh^Le the game was still going on Jack storrow came

ALARM. The word began mildJy with six jolly toners in an
ale-house, but the second scene was in keeping with the
melodramatic tone which prevailed through the evening.
Cuttlefish broke his arm, and the Doctor did him up in such be
< • - ' ; -
beautif ul so lints and bandages th£ he le^pt them on till
bedtime. The whole word was a war scene. The sentry of a
sleeping army was suddenly surrounded by the advance guard
of the m «my. They gave him his choice between absolute silence
and instant death ;whereuo on he ehouted at the top of his lung .
the sleeping host wolk,and the enemy were repulsed with great
slaughter over his Prostrate comse.
INDIANA. We do not often have three syllables acted in one.
The musical contest between Diana and the asoiring minstrel
was very fine, and the melting strains which Mr.Sturgess
drew^from Hie guitar(?) filled every heart with emotion. The
whole word , the attack on John Harkless by the White-cans, was
quite realistic, especially Greg's groan and the wild thunder
and lightning that flashed and roared all through.
LIBERTC. Still more melodrama. For the first syllable,
we had the jailer's sister left on guard. To her enter a huntei
criminal( J.w.s. ) gasoing with terror and exhaustion and
begging shelter. She had promised not to let anyone in, but
SATURDAY con. moved by his despair she hid him in the clod
closet, and saved him from his foes by denying that he had been
there. The last syllable was also very good. I was the Boston
Tea Party, with a really superb band of Indians in blankets and
feathersfThe whole word was founded on Francis Cludde.lt
' ^ began with the prisoner( J.w. s. ) lying fettered on a heap of
straw in his dungeon. He was led forth to execution amid the
tearful farewells of Jailer and bystanders, but was pardoned
at the last minute. On the whole it was the best scene of the eve
evening.
The day and evening had been so strenuous that by nine
o'clock #11 hands were ready for pillows and a story.
SUNDAY This was a morning of visitors. Mr, and Mrs.

ilose Harris arrived by launch from Ran island with his

whole family; father, mother and four sisters. ( #ose, his father
and his oldest sister were here also Friday morning, but in th^
excitement of the Horn trio we forgot to mention il?. )Jose is
about twice as big as he was last year.
At afternoon reading we began"King Lear”.
The oicnic was on Hemlock Point. we generally walk uo
Belgrade Hill whe we oicnic here, but this time we olayed4’
"Wolf” instead. This is a new game to moat of us, but Mr.
Sturgis exol&ined it and we had thrilling times. After
suooer we hat around the fire in heaps and sang.
When we reached home we found Mr. Dick had got back on
his mo tor- cycle.

A camping trip was to have started this morning, but it>
was called off because the weather was bad and Promised to be
worse; a Promise which it faithfully kept.

that their owners had to pursue them nearly to stony Point
and came home sopping wet and late to suioper.
An even wetter crew came in at eight o1 clock. This
was J..R. , JS.B. ,G.W M. Jr., and J»G.W.,who had been trying their
luck for trout at the head of Hoyt’s Island. Their luck was rather jjh
poor as all they got was a thorough soaking and a very hard

row home.
The wind was so heavy all day that the buouy on Pickerel
dragged its anchor, and landed a good distance north of the rofek.
In the evening we began a new book at Digestion Club,"
MThe Railway Children”. After that we had a desperate round
of Towel Game and the half-past-niners wound up the evening
by guessing noses throughaa sheet.
Comments on one nose:

"That’s Rad's nose”, "Oh, no its Miss Alice”,

"Well anyhow it looks like an old mule"
P.S.It was Greg's.
We forgot to mention a third damp crew .Mr. Dick and Bill

of their olayers in the course of the game, as .Arthur Sweeney
got a ball on the end of his finger quite earlly in the game.
Besides this there ware various other casualties, , Mr. Simons
getting a ball on the end of his collar-bone and Greg getting
one in his eye.
Sashes vs. Headaches.

This game was rather uneven, but the exact score is
not known; the aooroximate one being 2^-I5;anyway it is safe o
say the Sashes woift by a good margin. A feature of the game
was the wonderful umpiring. of Mr. R. Bennett t,bnd another
Wolcott* s drive to left field; it was one of the first clean
three-bagger.

FIFTH SCOUTING AFTERNOON.

In the first game the Iroquois sent a flying squadron
at full sneed along the lower math. They met the Algonquin
advance just south of the middle fence and were mostly
killed.
In the second game Bill Ladd made a run aisng the shore,
killing the ft o quo is shore guard. Thiswas the only run of the
afternoon.
The third game was less eventful. Each side sent a large
narty through the uoner woods,but time was called before they
met. Two minutes more and there would have been terrific slaug*
hter .
As may be seen from the score (on the next o age) the
afternoon was decidedly Algol quin; they are now ahead in games

* Cubs vs. Tigers I
As will be seen from the 13s t this was a junior game.
Hill being the only half-past-niner»The game was really won in
the first inning, for the Tigers let in seven runs, by wild
pitching and errors. Both sides changed thefcr line-up considerably
in the second inning and the game was on the whole mudr more
even,th ough the cubs were rather reckless in the matter
of bases on balls. In the second half of the game the tigers
held their opponents down and gained on tiara well, but the
lead was too long to be quite made up.
In the sixth inning G. Abbot made a double Play unassisted,
tagging first the batter and then the runner from third. In the
A
same inning Francis Chambers knocked a clean two-bagger .
Henry Hun showed himself a good aj.1 aroundplayer .He
knocked two three-baggers, and after each took such a lead
ft*om third that he drew a throw from the catcher and stole
home. In the fifth inning he put out three men, two of them
unassisted.
After supper we had boats for the first time in many

And the deck was cleared, or rather cluttered, for Indoor

Z&fiLOBA. con. The whole word was superb. When the curtain
fell it revealed Pan Zagloba( J. R. ) tied hand and foot with his
sword behind his knees as described in the. book. He rolled and rf*ek
rocked until he got free and then climbed up to the loft,
null in his ladder after himC There really was a loft built on
the beams for the occasion. )The Cossacks came in and a wonderful
fight followed , everybody roating”Cut J , Slash! , SI ay I ” as loud
as they could.
MAgg APSE The first excitement in this was the second
• « ^
syllable. The jailers brought in the supposedly dead prisoner
wrapped in a blanket and flung him down from the loft. Of course
we knew that there couldn’t be anybody ins^fle the blanket,
but it was a little startling. The curtain was raised for a
moment ahd the Roger crawled cheerfully out of the blanket
* *
remarking ’’The World is Mine”. The third syllable was enough
r
to nuzzle everyone; a party of Indians came in and killed their
victim with appropriate yells aid dances.lt appeared afterwards
that this was”Cree”, Sara' says that's the way they pronounce it
r
out west. The whole word was very fine- it was the massacre of
%
St. Bartholomew with the Guises and their followers all
wearing their white badges. The Hugenots were decoyed to the
entrance of the Louvre, and when the clock struck twelve on the
• •
Piano their assailants fell upon them.
After this we had half-past -nine Boston.

When it was time to start for the nicnic the wind was
still so lively that a shore nicnic was decided dn* There was
a walk to a little knoll jupt this side of. Howland Hill
and supper on Stevens 'Beach. The grub went roun in boatswith
a few who had not gone on the walk. This was the first cocoa
nicnic of the year, and also Harry Shaw’s first nicnic.
After supper we had a short game of "Wolf” and then sang

CANOE RACES.
It was a much better afternoon than we had last year,
for though the wind came up a little at one . time, it slacked again
and gave very little real trouble. we give the events in the
order in which they occurred , except that the finals did not
in any case follow thw preliminary heats. All the races were
out iound Pickerel and back, except the mixed fours, which
was out and round twice. To avoid crowding on the turn, and to
make things fairer, flags were set up in a line with the rock,
and each boat had its own point to turn.

By this time the wind had gone down a good deal, and what
there was had swung to the west. The first heat was close at
the turn, but the Squannacook was wild on the home stretch.
The Pink won by a couple of lengths. The second heat was less
exciting, as the Squannacook again went on a wild course.
In the finals the Squannacook gained on the home stretch, but
the Hecuba had too long a lead.

THIRTEENTH BASEBALL AFTERNOON.
Pirates vs. Giants.
There were some slight changes in the make-un or the
teams as Sam Bennett wasn't in condition to nlay.She sides
were so uneven that there was not much excitement, but there
were 'a great many pretty hits, and Chubbard’s Pitching was
very steady. The Pirates made various changes in their line-
uo,nnd in the sixth inning the Giants nut in Jerfries at
centre rield instead or white. Intthe eighth inning the Pirates
had rourteen men at bat. J.w.s.got rive hits out or six times
at bat; one or them a three-bagger. He also knocked two rouls
almost into the nond.
.After suoner those who were not rehearsing ror stunts
olayed "Woir" on the hill. Then came hair-past-eight "Boston"
and" the Naulahka" ror the hair-oast-niners.

THEODA¥, Not a very promising day Tor the races, Tor it
AUG.
Cloudy, was dull and threatening, and almost flat calm. By
Cool,
S.E. noon, however, there was a breeze, and Skipner said "Go
• •' ;
ahead. " Though we have had more boat-building th^s year than
o o «
ever before, there were many finishing touches to be given. In
. » •
fact several boats had to be finished in the afternoon, while
< .
the first heats were going on.
« •
There were fifty-four entries; six fewer than last year.
Among them were many old friends, such as the Go-go, the Goat,t
the Pooh-Bah, the Bent, and the Ponderosa.
r
Conditions were as different as they could well be from
last year, for the wind was light, and what there was coming
*
from the southeast. The first heat finished on a line from
Pickerel to float, but as the wind shifted more to the east,
m
we adjourned to the noint.Here follows the account of the
c •
whole race.
THE GREAT CUP RACE.
1st. Heat. .
1 Rad Rover. A close race between the Rad Rover and the
2 Goat
3 Apteryx Apteryx, till the latter upset. The Rover won
4 Pie Plate
v/hiflletree by a good lead over the Goat, and the Apteryx, w

which had been righted, overhauled the Pie-Plat
and finished third. The other two boats went over
early, and could not be kept up.

by occasional setting up, made third. The other two boats
could not stand up at all.

31 Flying Dutchman
Jeff I two- thirds of the way. The Merry Widow insisted
Plunger Jig
Merry Widow on diving. A close race between the Lady Grey
and the Tiekle-Go-Teazer, with the Flying Dutchman
a slow third.
4th. Heat. The Ponderosa, rigged with a kite sail,

2 Go-go got her mast bent and capsized early. The
3 Blueberry Pie II
Ponderosa H.H.Hank started with a broken mast, and met
Ho1 le- Rim- Hank «
Doughnut- Tip -Over the same fate. The Doughnut did tip
over. The Goatee won by a good margin. The Go-go,
though inclined to tseer for the Mills, gained Second,
/ ^
closely pressed by the second Pie. As she is not eligible
for the cup, the Pie II qualified for the second round.
5th. Heat., A wild race between the Pie and the Maud,
1 Blueberry Pie
2 Maud each passing the other more than once. The contest

the line.
WEDNESDAY (cont'd.) In our eagerness to get the
* i
report or the race done we forgot to say that there were two
departures this morning, though one, we are glad to say, is
A
only temporary. Oliver ’ s family decided that they wanted him
this week instead of next, so he went by the morning train,
to our great regret. With him went Dr. Morse, to attend to
some business and come back tomorrow afternoon.We shall
have to play that he has gone on a camping- trip, as it is

the same length of time.

The event of the evening, and one of the events
a
of the year, was the "Andy Coggin"stunt.It has been
put off two or three times, and there was talk of
WEDNESDAY (cont’d.) * saving it for the fancy dress party.
But that made complications, so we had it as a fitting climax
to the Sing-song season.
The stage was beautifully set, and if the curtain did get
out of order it only added to the effect. The pathetic beauty
of Yvernelle, the dark villainy of the nameless villain, the
dashing gallantry of the hero — where shall we look for anythin 9
to equal theseYThere is just one place; in the calm haughti¬
ness of William, the palpitating flutters of the Poet, the calm
sense of sud Lanigan,and last butnot least, the Berserk fury
of Clarence O’Shea. That was a fight i It did not look as if
there would be even "comic remains "of William when Clarence
go€ through with him.
If we have not mentioned specially the "villainous
Thuthelred" and the two appreciative millionaires, it is only
a
because their briefer parts made them less conspicuous. They
were ver^ good. We give the full cast, below.

It was thought at i*ir.st that the expedition would
not come off, as the weather looked threatening, but by the time
reading was over it looked better and it was decided to run
off the exn edition to Hampshire Hill and Rocky Mountain.
We got off &X 10:30 and saddled to Beaver Brook
where we had lundh-a rather cold orocess,or so it seemed to
some ofus. Shortly afterwards the division was made into
oarties,one to Hampshire f Hill under command of Captain John
and the other to Rocky headed by J.W.S.We will tell of the doings
of the former first as they were the more numerous.
TPie Hampshire Hillers struck uo from Beaver Soring
for the road which runs back of Rooky Mountain and thus struck
the turn-pike which goes a good way uo Hampshire. We oassed the
cross-roads in safety and after considerable more walking

gained the too of the hill, s toon ing of course to get a drink

THURSDAY eoru The Rocky Mountain party went up to the
mouth or the brook in boats, and struck into the woods a
good deal earlier than usual. Their excitement came on the
way down. The majority came down the usual way, but a select
Party, headed by J.W.S.,came down the steepest part of the
slide. They meant to join the others a little way along, but
every time they tried to follow a ledge it tapered off to
nothing, and they had to go back. Exactly why some of them didn't
go over the edge is not plain, as they found plenty of edges
to go over. They also found a good cave, large enough to
live in comfortably. When they saw that they could not
make the connection as they had planned, they went right
down to the brook. The others, after waiting as long as they
dared, did the same, so the two parties met all right.
We got home at seven and as soon as possible we had
dinner-and it tasted mighty. good too. After wards for what little
time was left we had"Quiet Games**and then the half-past-eighters
and some of the older brothers too went to bed*
Then there was a select game of '’Mythology*', which Miss
Julia won by a score of 24, while the rest sat around the
fire, ate aonles andmade horrid jokes onthe Mr. Dick Tionary
style; some of them went to sleep then and there and all of
us did ,^ou may be* sure, wh*m 4#' -finally did get to bed.

INSPECTION VERSES.
Ye ladies of our glen
Who inspect today at ten,
In our trunks don't look,
Nor in every crack or nook.
For our husky trunks within
All clothes lie not like a pin.
Shoes, sneakers, and shellacy boats
All lie heaped on our blue coats.
Handkerchiefs, ties, and bathing-suits wet,
All lie in the very same set,
Painty boats and white shirts, jammed tight
Under a wet towel. Ohi what a sight!
a
Oh what shall I do with my boat.
Or even my very best coat?
Into the trunk with soaking wet socks.
Between a collection of muddy rocks.

guesses as to wherit was, but they were all wrong .Who should
it be but
He is only here for a day and a half, but that is a great deal
better than nothing.
A still later arrival, also unexpected, arrived about two
t t
in the mornind. Mr. Wiggins came over from Oakland on foot.
The. latest reoort had been that he could not arive till
Tuesday, so the Skipper was a good deal suprised to find him
in the boathouse at half-oast-six. Before that he had been and
stirred up Greg, who was sleeping in the bone-yard with Charlie
Hubbard .

FRIDAY con. infavor of the Cameras. They had just hadatwo-
bagger,a three-bagger and a home-run and it looked as if ifchey
were going to have it all their own way, but the Kodaks, bunching
hits and taking advantage of errors^ ran round their batting
order and brought in five runs in this same inning. Another run
in the seventh came within one of tying the score ;so though
the Qameras finally won, it was no walk-over. The greatest sensation
of the afternoon was Chug's home-run ; the ball went down the
hundred yard dash, and then turned neatly round the corner of the
shoo .

BRYANS vs.T&FtS.
This was nerhans the best oudding-ball game of the
year; it certainly was as to playing, although the score
might have been closer, the Bryans winning by a good lead.
As in the big game the losing side made a desoar ate rally,
but it was likewise unsuccessful.
BATTERIES. Bryans : Cooper and 0. Stillman Ta ^ ^
The evening was a good deal taken up with rehearsals,
but some of our number got out in boats, and watched the new
moon go down. At eight o'clock there was Towel for all hands,
and later the Cider Jugs met She Molasses Jugs again in deadly
fray. We cannot give many Particulars, as the score card has been
lost, but the M.J.'s won the first two games by a good margin.
The third went to the C.J.'s,and it was too late to play any
more
SATURDAY, Last year we gave up the whole day to last
AUG. 29,
Fair, agonies, but today was too beautiful to be wasted
Cool ,
Westerly, on paste, silver oaner,and rehear Sals. We couldn’t
manage a real all day exo edit ion, but we got off soon after
ten in the boats, to go an hour up Meadow Brook, have dinner,
and get home by four. It was a oerfect day, and everything
<
worked well. The water was lower than we have ever seen it in
the brook, but we had only one serious obstacle. This was a
sunken log, so near the surface that every boat and canoe did
a good deal more than touch it. The Rangel eys rushed it,especi
ally Chug, who carries it with a soiendid dash. But the canoes,
« •
having no keels, had to push and coax, and shift weight a good
* * •
deal. We found a nerfect olace to nicnic,and most of the
* t
brethren had a swim in a oool a little way uo stream. After
O • r
• r
dinner one stunt had a rehearsal, while the rest of us lay
}
r • «
round and enjoyed ourselves. There was a little head wind on
the way home, but nothing serious, and we reached the float
«
at four o'clock, as scheduled.
Then things began to be lively. One rehearsal followed on
the heels of another so fast that it was hard to keep them
form interfering. Last stitches were taken, last lines learned,
# • #
and in the middle of it all the Doctor and Mr. Bar stow found
time to get boughs and trim the big room. We were almost
afraid we should have to go without our decorations, but it
SATURDAY (cont’d. ) was done in time, and the room looked very
r '
pretty.
There was some delay, ol* eoussejthere always is. But we
did better this year than we have sometimes done, and it was
not hair past eight when the signal was given to strike un.
As the company marched round, we all said, as we have said f
berore, "There has never be$n a orettier one.” Queens, rats,
yeomen, nobles, bridesmaids, cadets, made a really solendid pro¬
cession. Here is the lull list.

We had various dances mixed with the stunts. In Tact
we had more dancing than usual. The Portland Fancy was a great
addition, and the Reel was such that the orchestra wonders
more than ever why the oiano did not tin over on ton of her.
After the Reel we had lemon sherbet, and birthday (fakes for
Chasy and Chubbard.lt wasn’t their birthday, but when they
had their real birthdays we didn’t realize it in time to get
the calces done. Better late than never. &
Here follow the stunts, in order of occurrence.
THE^PISD PIPER.
The four little rats were all in grey, with grey ears and
lon£ grey tails. They danced a iunny quadrille, while the Piper
piped, and then followed him out of the door, ’’bringing their
tails behind them
SATURDAY (cont'd.)
THE DRILL.
t
This was a very fine stunt, and different from anything
% •
we have ever had. They marched in evry kind of formation,
♦
in couples and in fours, forward and backward, and went through
a gun drill, while Capt.chickweed gave his orders like a general
It was one of the great successes of the evening.
SCENES FROM SHAKESPEARE.
• *»
There were three of these. Carl Stillman, very calm and
* » * •
majestic as Julius Caesar, was killed by a band of white-robed
« • *•
conspirators, and said ”Et tu,Brute”most properly.
Eli as Romeo and Mouse as Juliet did the balcony
scene (somewhat abridged) with great effect; and the sudden
change from a long-tailed grey rat to a lovely damsel in
white robes and blue mantle was very surprising.
Cuttlefish came in crying”!* horse] A horse]My kingdom f
for a horse] ””Then Richmond( Chick )pur sued him, and after
*
some lively fighting the tyrant was slain.
DANCE.
Miss Betty gave no name to this, but as the tune that
she danced to has been called a fairy waltz perhaps we may
call it a fairy dance.lt was certainly pretty enough for
one, and how she did it without a rehearsal with the music
we do not see
SATURDAY ( cont ' d. )
TWELFTH NIGHT,
*■
This was one or the best Shakespeare scenes we have evr
* ♦
had. They did the duel between Viola and Sir Andrew, and never
were seen two more timid fighters than our two Jimmies. They
A
shrank and wiggled, in spite of the prodding of sir Toby and
Fabian, and finally ran away without daring to look back, As fx
«
for Sir Tpby (J.Fish)he was literally and figuratively
, «
immense. Fabian backed up splendidly, digging him in the
4»
place where his ribs ought to be whenever the victims of
%
their joke were not looking.
A SUNDRY STUNT.
This was an extra, thought up at the last minute, and was
*
vey funny. Two extremely comic and seedy-looking farmers came
in by the back window with their bags in their hands, and sang
a song telling how they were going backxto the farm. They were
most absurd objects, and one could hardly see how they could
be Greg and Mr. Wiggins ; but they were.
YOUNG LOCHINVAR.
This ballad wast acted in pantomime, while Mrs. Richards
recited it. Miss Rosalind was the bride, though her name does
not appear in the list of characters. She just put on a veil
over her other dress, and there she was.There were many fine
points, but none finer than the expression of the bridesmaids
SATURDAY (cont'd.) when Lochinvar remarked on the large supply
of lovely maids in Scotland. Their looks said as plain as print
’’Perhaps he means me. "The pursuit was also very spirited.
The stern father’s horse bucked with him, but he finally
got away out of the window with the rest. As for the brideg
groom, he turned in his toes and put his finger in his mouth
and was delightfully absurd.
ROB-DH HOOD.
There were three scenes to this stunt, each more fun
than the others. First we had the meeting of Robin and
Little John on the bridge. (It was the spring-board, and
looked very fine. )They whacked each other with right good
will with their quarter-staffs, and at last Robin went plump
into the stream on his head. It was in good sooth a merry
sight.
Then came the adventure of Midge the Miller. The four
outlaws played their trick on the peaceful miller, and found
that: they had met their match and somcwthing more. He filled
their eyes and mouths with flour, and then drubbed them
soundly. And we don’t think that Greg's blows were stage ones
either.
The last was Friar Tuck. The good friar sang his duet
with himself in great style, filling in the pauses with Wash¬
ington pie and long drinks out of a corked whiskey jug.
As for the carrying across the stream, and the final dumping
SATURDAY (cont'd. ) or Robin into the purling stream, they
made a fitting climax to one of the best stunts we have evr
had.
s
The reel was so long that it* had to be danced double,
and even then the orchestra was not sorry when it was over.
Lemon sherbet tasted very good, and perhaps bed tasted even
<
better. But after the three-ring taps, while Captain was still
washing his face by the sad sea waves, the faculty had to
keep its, eyes open long enough to set the table.

SUNDAY, Miss Julia’s birfthday,with a cake at dinner,
AUG. 30
Fair, as we coudn't very well take the candles on the
Warn,
Cain picnic.
The picnic was in a meadow behind Oak Island;
not the old meadow by the Walrus tree, which has a house
too near it, but the next one. We lifted the Rangel eys and
canoes up on the shore, but the Ouananiche had to go
round to the beach, after landing the grub and her eight
Passengers. ( Nineteen people and all the grub isn’t bad for
Bne boat.) We played "Wolf" as it should be played, in an open
meadow where it was possible to ru n without breaking
one's leg. After suooer we built a fire1 and sang round it,
until it was time to go home. The Ouananiche crew had a lively
time getting to their boat through a swaim,but they got there
after a while. We were late home, but skipper let us have a
little extra time for singing.
After hymns we had a good deal of poetry and the
"The Deacon’s week".
Where were two departures today ;Jvir. Pat left
before eight o’ clock, while most of us were still dsleeo
to catch a mOr ing train from Waterville and Bill Ladd
f
Left just as we were starting for a Picnic.

Cain, the trunks got off in the afternoon, so as to make Mr.
Daggett a little less "frustrated.''
The editors of the Log had their last ;joint session,
bringing things up to date, and making a good beginning on the
weight list, which Dr. Morse hadzput into such good shape that
it was not half such a piece of work as usual. After this the
editor must get on alone, with no Jelly-fish to help her.
Last Scouting Afternoon.
It was anything but an ideal day for the game; flat calm,
with bright sunlight. There could be no question of not n lay in
however. The sided were uneven in numbers, as the Algon quins
had lost two or three and the Iroquois had gained Arthur
and Mr. Wiggins.
with such weather there could hardly be anything butdere
. defensive play.we have had slow games before, but never
anything to approach the first. two games. The second, which
gave the cup to the Algonquins, was won by one shot to none.

As the mm mats won, and the breeze had come up, the third
• \
game was much more lively. The shots wer even on the two
sides, but the Iroquois won by six runs, kill ing the Algonquin
shore guard. She had killed two of then, though.
At supper the cup was presented to the captain of the
MONDAY (cont'd. ) winning tr$be by the captain of the
Iroquois, with a first-rate speech. The response matched it,
and Doth captains deserved the soplause of friend and foe
which they received.lt has been the best season yet; the
hardest fought, the most closely nlayed,and the most
friendly. May the next be as good.
Just after the game Ripley Cutlr left. His father and
mother had been staying at Gleason's for several days,
coming over to camp a good deal, and as they had to take
the morning train from Oakland it seemed easier to have
Ripley spend the night with them and start from Gleason's.
So exit Cuttlefish, with our best wi?3hes.
There was packing till eight, and then we began on M01d
Man's Soup . ”We were not able to finish, unfortunately, as
we took more time than we meant to passing round the
cup and pattaking of a new and very interesting beverage.
For the hall-past niners there was a last desperate Boston.
And before tans we sang Dr. Morse a song, and told him what
we thought of him, which we hope he liked. So the last evening
ended v_ery cheerfully, just as if it had not been the last.
And we almost forgot to mention the return of our
wandering forester. Chester turned up while we were at

woods by every kind of conveyance, and he had an enormous

S.w. were here in good time, and after many good-byes they
started. The train was a good bit late, but at l4«t it pulled
in, and the “Hester1' was filled to over flowing. Well, many of t
them are coming back next year, dear fellows. And Bobby and C
Captain John and John Simons are coming back in two days,
as they have only gone down to Mr.Barstow's camp for a
little duck-shooting. The Doctor is with them, but he can't
come back, worse luck, as he has various examinations to get
ready for.
Ten is a small family, and perhaps some of us did not
feel very cheerful, but we di a good deal of picking up, and
after dinner we began "Great Expectations."
Not much more to say about the day. Empty dormitories
and tents are not a cheerful subject to dwell on, and our
minds were too lull of them to dwell on much else. We went to
bed early, as everyone was pretty sleepy.
James Bargtow and John Richards
came here from Belgrade Lakes yes¬
terday and with a party of friends
went to the Oxbow, where they will i
remain in camp for a few days. The
party were taken from Gardiner to
the Oxbbw in Tozier’s automobile.

Not a bad programme for our small numbers. The Skipper,by

he has been a camper, and we have been glad of every one.

no one seems to know.
Good letters this morning, from Sara, Chubbard,and Jeff.
Everyone was safely met; at least, everyone that needed
meeting. And dear old Chubbard took Hencoop and Peltzy out
to dine with him, so that they would not have such a
tiresome wait. The Hubbard squash is an excellent variety.
Andrew went to the fair at Waterville today, and Mike

This afternoon Skipper and H.H.R. played the first
game of golf that has ever been Played on these Premises.

but we got over to Hoyt’s for a lovely picnic. We landed at
the gry-dock, and had dinner right there in the woods. We
were leery grand, with coffee in three thermos bottles.
After dinner we finished ’’The Pavilion on the Links”, and

Cool enough to maintain JohnSimons's reeord;he has always
Rainy.
S.w. had a wet day to leave camp.we had service as usual in
the morning, and in shite of colds four of us had a swim*
We had coffee in the big room, and finished "The Wrecker,"
and then it was "All aboard for Waterville".The car was almost
as reluctant to go as we were to have it go, (and that is
saying a good deal)but at last it cuffed away up the hill.
"I think leos than nothing of this going away, "as somebody
« *
said once. And now we have only one John left.
There could be no question of Picnicking out of
doors. We kept to our fireside, with much reading after
sucper, and a few hymns. We didn't dare to sing many, as the
cold still has several of us in its grip. (This is not
intended for a Pun, by the way.)
MONDAY
Swims are short and sweet these days. The wind
blows hard, so that there is little question or
doing much on the water. Thi3 morning an aoole-oicking
squad got materials for oie and sauce in the orchard. The
trees were badly damaged by the frost last winter, and some
of them killed outright, but two are bearing a little.
In the afternoon a select aquad did soirrf? goon work on
Ouananiehe slip, filling in big stones under the upper end of

Another daParture this morning. The Professor left for
Groton, to see about moving into a new house. He is to come

back to Gardiner on Friday, nick up the rest of his family
there, and take them back to Groton with him. Before he left
he finished -Jeffy’s music-stand. It was rather hard work to
get it into Place, but once there it will stay. And it will
save wear and tear on the music, besides keeping the top of
the Piano in better shape.
A somewhat belated arrival in- the evening. We expected
him in the afternoon, but his train had queer things happen
to the engines. Here follows his signature.
We mostly read in the evening, but some of us walked
out to the point to look at the moon, which was most wonderful

together, and read again. Then there is a little more work,
or a lot as the case may be, followed by a walk. This
northwest wind is very bracing, especially at half-past
six in a wet bathing-suit, but it does not lend itself to
doings on the water.
In the evening we had "Telegrams" , some of which we

You may not be so very

You wave your hat, and cry "Hurrah J

You* re rowing hack across the pond.
From picnic hastening home.
The ‘western wind is piping loud.
The waves are white with foam.
"Go as you please 1" the Skipper cries;
You pull with all your might.
For shining through the dusk you see
The Merry weather Light.
Oh* Brothers dear, the world is wide.
And storm and shade must foil;

HALF ROUND THE WORLD BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON.
As has befoi*e been said, G.W. and E.H. started just
after bed- time, with the moon at the flai, though yellow and smoky
from all the forest fires* fhey paddied to Gleason's shore,
paddled and carried toEllis Pond, did that and McGraw, then the
Ttchfield East Pond, North, across the carry into Great,
and came paddling home just as the horn blew. This is the most
wonderful night trip that has ever been made at Camp, and it must
have been most beautiful to see the whol e thing by moonlight
with everyone else asleep* ^lle day it was everyone else who
was awake and they who were asleep, but it was worth it; they
worked nobly, too, and Eddy only took very short little cat naps
in reading, and played mythology in the evening. Peter, we hear,
succumbed at eight o' clock.
They did one thing which should be recorded* as if they had
not done it the beautiful wooded shores of Little Pond might
have been completely burned. They found a fire started in the
underbrush and eating its way fast along the ground, a dead stump
all in a white glow and burning firoely. They had nothing bigger
than a thermos bottle with them, but there was no time to be lost
so they filled their canoe partly full of water, ran up with it
and emptied it on the fire till they had every spark and coal
safely out.
The forest fires are bad again all about the state, and the
accounts of the Minnesota ones are terrible. We have been getting
the smoke from these last for the last two days, and the hills,
and for a while even Hoyt's Island, have been hidden by the smoke
h$ze, — E.H. saw a big forest fire as he came up from Boston,
and on Saturday Mr. Lee's automobile was delayed for an hour
by a burning farm or. Belgrade hill, we fe&r Mr. Page's. The house
was saved, and the horses, but the loss of all the hay and crops,

But nuoh we cared i Skipper was better, even
greatly better, having slept thirty hours out of thirty-
six.Little Harry was better too, and able to make the
journey to Gardiner* so our hearts rejoiced, even though our
little band was about to be cut in two. There were nighty
packings, "hurryings here and scj^urrylngs the re***; and at half-past jfea:
the departing half departed; Misses Alice,Julia and Betty,
Messrs Peter Wiggins and Harry Shaw, Miss Ferguson went earlier.)
Well, and then- we cheered up harder than ever, so that
the sun was quite put out of countenance by our shining faces.
Poor Old Soli
The day was largely spent in taking account of
stock, making lists, packing, etc; but there was a great swim,and
in they'd f ter no on a paddle for the mail* Thick smoke towards
night, evidently from forest fires. la the evening, we finished
"The Napoleon of Hotting Hill ,r, and then had a grand game of
